Update 2:30pm by sommi

Hey guys it's 2:30pm and 1 game has been played. I'm on stage at WCG :)
Steam has not been running well as the internet is very slow here.
The reason why no games have been played is that Steam is not updated here @ WCG. 40 computers are trying to update Steam and get about 2kb/sec so there's a 2-3 hour wait (and steam cancels half way through)
Some offline mode computers have worked.
No games are playing and everyone gets kicked out at 10pm
Copying cache files over to replace the updates don't work.
Offline mode doesn't work either.
:(
Admins are considering a double elim. Which could mean teams who fly interstate could play an A seed team and then a B seed team and go out instantly.
Cyas

Update 3pm

The organisers of the event have decided to change the event to an 18 team double elimination event due to time constaints caused by troubles with steam updating and computers not working. The bracket and draw will be announced shortly.

Update 4:20pm

Finally after almost 7 hours of watiting and a changed structure the WCG Australian Finals are getting underway. The double elim bracket and seedings will be announced soon.

Update 6pm

Due to all spectators and media being kicked out of luna park, we will not be able to bring you any more coverage as it happens until tomorrow, we will try to get information off the players as it comes to hand. Thankyou to luna park for the convenience

Why don't you just replace the whole steam folder from (burn't DVD discs, over the LAN or from External Hard drive)

Just make sure steam has only got Counter Strike 1.6 installed from the start and disable updating of any other games... that would make the amount of data you have to copy very small.

IMO

Seriously wtf at organizers.. Could of gone the night before and checked all the settings for all the games with like 5 blokes..

Check that everything is updated.
Check that systems aren't faulty
ETC ETC.


How fucking idiotic is that there is no excuse for having steam not updated,

are you LITERALLY retarded? you think people as experienced as dave rob and co would just be like oh shit we forgot to update guys lol sorry! they were given basically no time to set up and anyone who thinks they're not doing the absolute best they can is a moron. the same admin team has run countless successful nationals, yet you blame them for this one not being up to speed without taking into account extenuating circumstances.

i was there and i agree the whole thing blew like a cheap hooker, but blaming the admins who are blatantly trying their best to get the comp done as efficiently as possible is not just ridiculous but completely fucking ungrateful.
